At the 2007 SEMA, I guess there’s only one classic car that will surprise us… It’s a ’34 Chevrolet Coupe E85! Yup, it’s a combination of a classic hot rod and a green hybrid car! The General is bringing a '34 Chevy hot rod to the upcoming show, equipped with a 2.0-liter Ecotec four tuned to run on E85, and packed with GM's Performance Parts Stage III package plus a larger turbo!

According to AutoBlog.com, extra distinguished tidbits take in a traditional front suspension with alleviating holes drilled into the hardware with an upturned Corvair steering box mated to conventional manufactured relation and what GM is calling "earth-friendly" interior materials and stuff.

"Since the 1930's, hot rods have embodied American ingenuity, aesthetic flair and the quest for performance. The ethanol Hot Rod is a modern statement that today's hot rodder can address energy concerns about the consumption of petroleum without sacrificing performance or style," said Bryan Nesbitt, the vice-president of General Motors North American Design.

"The engine was built using the basic recipe that is available in the Ecotec performance book available from GM Performance Parts. Also, the E85 conversion is based on a kit that GM is exploring for regular production engines," said Al Oppenheiser, the GM Performance Division director of concept and vehicle integration.
